King of the Wilderness
Recommended Read Deny King was a special person Painter, Miner, Environmentalist Hermit and an adventurer Banksia Kingii named in his honour.
Christobel Mattingley's biography of him has you wondering how anyone could achieve so much, influence so many others, while still maintaining his privacy and integrity.
Deny King's domain was the remote south west of Tasmania. For more than 50 years he lived self-sufficiently in a region only accessible by foot through rugged wilderness or by boat along some of the most treacherous coastline in the world. Yet he corresponded with leading scientists around the world about plants and birds, he identified and protected rare and endangered species and had several new discoveries named after him.
He courted his wife for several years by letter after meeting her in hospital during his war service and then built her a house and all its furniture. He sailed several times a year round the fierce seas south of Tasmania to Hobart, delivering tin that he mined by hand. He painted and exhibited. He was an icon among bushwalkers, building huts, cutting tracks, and providing shelter and hospitality to anyone who came. Yet he was also a shy, retiring man, uncomfortable in the public gaze.
He spent fifty years living self-sufficiently in the rugged Tasmanian south-west and became internationally renowned for his exploits on land and sea. King of the Wilderness brings to life a man of strength and ingenuity, a man who made an indelible impression on everyone who met him.
